It's mine soon, how did you celebrate, if that’s the right word to use.

Can not remember what I did for mine, but when my wife hit the small 30, I took her to Rome for the weekend. It was in late January. The weather was brill, no crowds, v romantic.

Rented a Caterham 7 for 2 days! Have always wanted to drive one, finally got round to it!

And whaddya know? My birthday's in October, so it was cold, wet, windy and slippery. So I went out and spent my 20k on a Scoob instead!

We seem to be in the minority on here, are we old then. Nimbus must be, he can't remeber what he did, or that must have been on hell of a night!

England 5 - top night (I'm an LFC fan btw)

I was in Sweden and did the Helsinki booze cruise.
After boarding the boat it was "Happy Hour" from 17:30 til 20:30 [?]. Two long Island Ice Tea's for the price of one. Oh dear ...

Went to Camden with some friends and drank loads of snakebite and black with shots of Vodka in. Got very ill ( really , really ill)and left a trail of luminous pink vomit all the way from Camden to Enfield and redecorated the side of a cab and fell asleep on the loo with my head resting on the sink.


Roll on 31 !

Ask me again on the 3rd Feb (day after party). Hopefully, the Scoobynetters going will forget their cameras and there will be no evidence that can be proved...

I was 30 last weekend. After many years of mad birthday parties, I decided to have a "quiet one", or rather none at all since I'm tryting to save for my wedding later in the year.

What happens Sat night? I get home open the door and bang, pop, flash, the usual suspects had arranged a surprise party.

ABSOLUTE QUALITY; the house was full of food and drinks, I didn't have to lift a finger, and someone cleaned up the next morning while the "old git" was recovering.

P.S. Opened all my presents looking for a voucher for a track day - It never arrived.
